My sweet husband loves chickens (and all other birds, I suspect).  He has 
what I secretly think of as the "chicken ministry".  He does all the care 
for and provides all the feed for a nice little flock of hens.  He sells 
eggs for a $1.50 a dozen and gives Stephanie $1.00 because the original 
leghorn hens were her 4-H project.  These are very inexpensive eggs here, 
compared to supermarket prices, but he says most of his egg customers are 
struggling financially.

So, the question:  is there a breed of chicken that produces as well as the 
leghorn, but lays the brown eggs that people love so much?
